On Repeat

Well, we have made the move and are now residing at my mom's house and by the looks of things we will be here through the holidays. The new house I believe has a few more projects than we thought... like we didn't even notice there was no laundry area! I guess that's what you get when you buy a house built in the 30's or 40's anyway .....
So, Mac's vocabulary is improving everyday and he has now mastered da-da, dah-dah(Dot-Dot is my mom), ahhight(light) but his favorite word is "I". We have been singing this song about cows in the bathtub since birth because of this "lovely" CD Zach's friend Austin and his mother gave us(all songs are about cows in some way). The songs goes .. "I saw a cow in the bathtub reading a book, a big book about ice cream..." Mac has picked up on the first word and right after I end the song he says, "I." So essentially I am on repeat with this song all day ....

Making some progress ..

Well, it looks as if the Greene family is making some progress in many ways...
Mac is now standing on his own - yet to take a step put loves to pick things up, stand, scream and then plop back down on his booty. Never the less that's progress.
Zach has made a smooth job transition and is now working with his dad and another guy doing commercial and residential appraisal. It is fabulous because every morning when Mac and I go to walk we can stop by daddy's office and pop in(not sure if Zach appreciates all our little drop bys but ...)
Though the market has slowed, I have had a few closings this month, which with the new house and all the projects we are facing were very welcomed. As far as packing up our little home I am definitely making progress! Most everything is boxed up and ready for the big move next weekend. Mac is going to love living at Dot-Dot's(my mom) for a few weeks ....

Feeling Stressed ...

So, here we are October 5 and only 12 days till we have to vacate our home of 2.5 years. I know that doesn't sound like long but it is the house I brought my little baby home too last year, so I do feel a twinge of sadness, however, that small emotion is overcome by my stress. The last time we moved we had about 15 pieces of furniture to our name and a few boxes of mostly wedding gifts now somehow over the last 2.5 years we have filled our house and to pack and move seems so daunting! The added stress could also be because I am pregnant and hormonal but ....
Yesterday I wanted to start packing but where do you start dishes? decor? clothing? ugh .. this sucks ... To add to it Zach will be on active duty for a few weeks post move and I will be overseeing to remodel of the 1940's shack we convinced ourselves was the perfect home in the perfect neighborhood with soooo much character ... I just needed to vent a little bit ... wish me luck in the next 12 days ...
